"

Why would Grandma want a newspaper this morning, it's not like she would read it." Zak said to the newspaper vendor. He paid the man and he left. He looked at the front of the page and saw a big bold text "THE CELEBRITY MARRIAGE" He was about to check the picture of the couple but Grandma Patty called him "Zak, Bring the newspaper and we need you here."
"Okay Grandma." he said and walked inside the house. All the family were at the sitting room "Oh now is the time, tell me what's going on?" Zak asked. Grandma Patty motioned him to sit beside her, he sat and she started "Amber and her fiance Robert has some news for us." Zak looked at Amber and said "Tell us."

"Actually, I and Robert have decided to get married in two months." Amber said. "Really!" Zak said excited, "When is the wedding?" he added. "I said in two months, that would be June 20th." Amber replied. "But the problem is --"
"What's the problem?" Zak asked. "We haven't got a wedding planner yet and our budget for it is really low." Robert replied. "Oh, is that what you didn't want to tell me." Grandma Patty said. Amber nodded. "I can help out." Grandma said.
"How." John who has been engrossed with his phone asked. "Remember my friend Tristan, he has a friend that could help us, she's a wedding planner, a very good and nice one. She could help us reduce the cost, if she knows how low your budget is."

Zak thought for a while then he said "It's a good idea but do you think she'll agree to help us."
"Of course she would." Grandma said. "I'll call Tristan to give me the girl number, I'll call her and we'll meet. But Zak, she'll be needing your help if she agrees."
"Me!" Zak said.
"Yes, you gentleman." Grandma Patty said.
"Okay, Anyways I need to go out now, see ya later." Zak said and left the room.

"Delancy, France is at a coffee shop down the road, let's go meet him." Jonas said. "Who's France?" she asked.
Jonas rolled his eyes and said "Delancy, my boyfriend!" Delancy laughed at him then she said "Okay, we'll get the items after that but Jonas please just ten or fifteen minutes meeting." "Okay mum." Jonas said and they drove to where France was. After meeting him, she got his number and they left the coffee shop.

"Why did you collect his number." Jonas asked.
"Jealous much?"
"No I'm not, He's not straight but I still don't get why you have his number." Jonas said. "Actually I collected the number simply because he's a cop and he does investigations too. I have a feeling I'll need his help in the future." Delancy said. "You and your feelings, anyways we are here." Jonas said.

They got out if the car and walked to the store, they got the items and put it in the car. Jonas phone rang and he excused himself to take the call. Delancy didn't get into the car, she looked around the shops in the place but only one thing caught her eyes. It was a really sparkling glass shoe in a wedding shop opposite where she was standing. She walked to the shop and looked at the shoe.
It was really beautiful and is like magic. Just the thing she felt was missing in her life. As she looked at the shoe, a picture of her and the handsome guy at the store came in her mind. Crazy

"Excuse me ma'am."  She heard a woman in her mid forties say and she turned "Good afternoon ma." Delancy said. "Not ma, my name is Yvonne, I'm the store keeper, how may I help you?" The woman said. Delancy smiled and pointed at the shoe "This shoe, I like it."
Yvonne looked at Delancy and studied her a bit then she said "Can I tell you the story of the shoe?" "Sure." Delancy said.
"Delancy?" Jonas called. "Come on, wait for me." She said. "Okay, I want to hear the story too." Jonas said and they laughed.

"Okay, The story begins so long before Cinderella, you know about her right?" Yvonne said. "Yes" Delancy nodded. She even speaks to me. "The first owner of the shoe was Hilda, Cinderella's god mother. Hilda was a very beautiful young lady who has magic. With the help of her wand, she helped a lot of people to find true love. After so many years of helping, some people reported her to the chief that she was practicing dark magic. She was arrested and put in prison. The Chief always come to check on her everyday, he didn't believe that such beautiful girl would practice dark magic. Not long after, the chief started falling in love with Hilda. Afraid, he thought it was her magic that caused it. He stayed away from her and didn't check on her again but everyday his heart aches for her, he missed her. So one night, the chief went to Hilda and confessed his feelings to her, Hilda also said the same thing. The chief then told her to stop all her magic, she agreed to it because to her she has found the one she has waited for. She used the rest of her magic to make a glass shoe. The shoe which she wore for her wedding and passed down to her god daughter, Cinderella. And here's the shoe."

As Delancy heard the story, she wanted the shoe more than ever. "I love the story." She said. "I love it too." Jonas said.
"Yes, thank you." Yvonne replied smiling. "I want the shoe. How much is it?" Delancy asked.
